Where does one find good grub at Sunfest 2016? This year’s music and art festival, which takes over the downtown West Palm Beach waterfront for five days this week, boasts a respectable range of food offerings.

Here’s where you’ll find the best food offerings near the Tire Kingdom Stage:

Some of this year’s new dishes are designed by local star chef Lindsay Autry on behalf of the Palm Beach Food & Wine Festival. You’ll find those dishes at some of the nearly 20 kiosks of “The Eatery” food court, located on South Flagler Drive between Evernia and Fern streets.

Food highlights: The chef’s Waffle Fried Chicken ($10) is a waffle studded with bits of crispy-fried chicken and served with spiced honey. She’s also designed a boneless version of Nashville fried chicken ($10) and a gluten-free pizza ($15). “The Eatery” is also where you’ll find one of the fest’s popular “Award Winning Island Noodles” kiosks (where noodles are $8 and $9), and SunFest’s most showy dish, Tropical Pineapple Chicken ($10). This is where you’ll also find the Chick-Fil-A stand, which is not open Sunday. Instead on Sunday, that kiosk will turn into the “Sunday Funday Station,” serving Chef Autry’s hash-brown waffle ($10). Have that waffle loaded with bacon, sour cream and scallions or “on the sweet side” with maple syrup and bacon.
